Did you know that nearly twenty-five percent of adolescents suffer from chronic pain, and for some, it's severe enough to impact daily life? In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino and guest Dr. Lonnie Zeltzer talk about the complexity of chronic pain in children and adolescents—a subject often misunderstood and inadequately addressed in pediatric medicine. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Dr. Zeltzer shares her journey from a curiosity about adolescent medicine to specializing in pediatric chronic pain using modern pain science. This conversation not only unravels the preconceived beliefs surrounding chronic pain but also offers potential pathways and methods to manage and reframe the experience of pain in young individuals. The episode is an eye-opener for anyone seeking to understand and support children grappling with chronic pain.[00:00 - 17:02] Prevalence and Challenges of Pediatric Chronic PainChronic pain affects 15–30% of adolescents globally, with 15% experiencing severe impairment. 70% of adolescents with untreated chronic pain develop adult chronic pain. Pediatricians often lack training in modern chronic pain management concepts. Subspecialists frequently struggle to address chronic pain after ruling out organic causes. [17:02 - 27:55] Neurobiological and Psychosocial Factors Chronic pain correlates with limbic system hyperactivity and prefrontal cortex underdevelopment in adolescents. Neurodiverse individuals may experience heightened sensory sensitivity, amplifying pain perception. Hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) retrain pain-related neural pathways. POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) reflects autonomic nervous system dysregulation linked to chronic pain. [27:56 - 21:06] Gastrointestinal and Autonomic Dysregulation Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) stems from brain-gut axis dysfunction, not structural gastrointestinal issues. Autonomic dysregulation in POTS requires salt intake, hydration, and compression garments for management. Acupuncture and acupressure offer nonpharmacologic relief, particularly for needle-tolerant patients. Abdominal pain often involves muscular tension, addressed through targeted physical therapy. [21:07 - 48:48 ] Practical Clinical Interventions Brief in-office mindfulness exercises (e.g., guided breathing) provide immediate stress relief. Motivational interviewing helps adolescents identify achievable goals, like gradual physical activity. Parent-child dyads benefit from joint mindfulness apps (e.g., Insight Timer) to reduce household stress. The "five golden minutes" of non-directed play or connection improve emotional regulation.[48:49 - 54:23] Dr. Lia's Takeaways Connect with Lonnie Zeltzerhttps://linktr.ee/mychyphttps://www.instagram.com/my_chyp/https://www.linkedin.com/company/creative-healing-for-youth-in-pain/https://www.facebook.com/creativehealingforyouthinpainResources mentioned in the...

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, Dr. Vera Tarman speaks with Dr. Jon Davis, a principal investigator on the study Changes in Alcohol Use After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Dr. Davis is a principal scientist at Nova Nordisk, where he researches how gut-brain signaling mechanisms regulate appetite and metabolic disorders. His work explores the neurobiological connections between obesity, bariatric surgery, and substance use disorders—examining how bariatric procedures may increase the risk of alcohol use disorder (AUD) through gut microbiome and brain reward pathway alterations. The Food Junkies Podcast team is particularly interested in whether similar mechanisms might predispose post-bariatric surgery patients to sugar or food addiction. What We Discuss in This Episode:

Send us a textWhen kids hit puberty they become driven by a core motivation that many of us adults don't fully appreciate. It's not simply fun, or sex; they're looking for experiences that give them social status and respect. According to David Yeager, author of 10-25: The Science of How to Motivate Young People, a societal belief that teens and young adults are lazy and incompetent causes us to misunderstand the power of this motivator. When parents, teachers and employers get it wrong they try to use either an enforcer mindset - yelling telling, blaming and shaming - or a protector mindset such as bribes and lowered expectations rather than mentoring. In his book, Yeager, whom Clarivate Web of Science ranks as one of the top 0.1% most-influential psychologists in the world over the past decade, tells stories and gives concrete explanations for why the the science of motivating young people shows we can harness their drive for social status and a growth mindset, to motivate any young person to achieve their best.

We are in the midst of an epidemic, with recent studies showing up to 3 in 4 people are experiencing burnout at work.Burnout is not caused by laziness or a lack of willpower. It's the physiological response of a nervous system exposed to prolonged stress without adequate time to recover.In today's conversation with Nervous System School's Jessica Maguire and Madeleine Eliza, we take a deep dive into what exactly burnout is, and how to recover from it.We start by defining neurobiological limits, and explore how constantly living beyond your limits makes you more susceptible to burnout. Conversely, if you tend to stay well within your limits, avoiding risk and challenge, you are denying yourself the chance to discover your true potential. We also discuss the impact of your beliefs, and look at healthy and unhealthy ways in which the brain influences the nervous system.This is an insightful episode, with so many powerful takeaways and homework ideas for those who want to dive deeper and discover their personal sweet spot, aka “the stretch zone”.You can listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.And if you'd like to dive deeper into nervous system learning, grab our free downloadable worksheet all about your eighth sensory system, Interoception at https://www.nervoussystemschool.com/beliefsDisclaimer

In this episode, we explore the intricate world of addressing pain and the nervous system with Garret Salpeter, an expert in neuromuscular reeducation. The conversation begins with an introduction to the NEUBIE, followed by a detailed look at Garret's bio. As we welcome him to the podcast, the discussion unfolds to examine the relationship between injuries and the body's response.A key highlight of the episode is the revelation about the NEUBIE's impact on the nervous system, shedding light on how it contributes to creating safety within the body. Listeners are challenged to reconsider their perceptions of pain, discovering that it's not always what we assume.Known as "The Health Engineer," Garrett has taken his training in Engineering and Neuroscience and used it to create NeuFit and the patented NEUBIE device. He trains doctors, therapists, and professional sports teams and universities in how to apply NeuFit with their patients and athletes, helping them recover faster from injury and optimize performance.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.07.527472v1?rss=1 Authors: Pardina-Torner, H., De Paepe, A. E., Garcia-Gorro, C., Rodriguez-Dechicha, N., Calopa, M., Ruiz-Idiago, J., Mareca, C., de Diego-Balaguer, R., Camara, E. Abstract: Background: Despite its impact on daily life, impulsivity in Huntington's disease (HD) is understudied as a neuropsychiatric symptom. Our aim is to characterize temporal impulsivity in HD, evaluated through a Delay Discounting (DD) task, and to disentangle the underlying white matter correlates in HD. Methods: Forty-seven HD individuals and thirty-six healthy controls conducted a DD task and complementary Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward (SR) Questionnaire. Diffusion-tensor imaging was employed to characterize the structural connectivity of two limbic tracts: the uncinate fasciculus (UF) and the accumbofrontal tract (NAcc-OFC). Multiple linear regression analyses were applied to analyze the relationship between impulsive behavior and white-matter microstructural integrity. Results: Altered structural connectivity in both the NAcc-OFC and UF in HD individuals was observed. Moreover, the variability in structural connectivity of these tracts was associated with the individual differences in temporal impulsivity. Specifically, increased structural connectivity in the right NAcc-OFC predicted increased temporal impulsivity, while reduced connectivity in the left UF was associated with higher temporal impulsivity scores. Limitations: Other cognitive mechanisms and white matter tracts may play a role in temporal impulsivity. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that individual differences observed in impulsivity may be explained by variability in limbic fronto-striatal tracts. We emphasize the importance of investigating the spectrum of impulsivity in HD, less prevalent than other psychiatric features, but impacting the quality of life of patients and their caregivers.

Abstract: As social animals, our health depends in part on interactions with other human beings. Yet millions suffer from chronic social isolation, including those in nursing/assisted living facilities and people experiencing chronic loneliness. Perhaps the most egregious form of chronic isolation is seen in criminal justice system, where approximately 80,000 people are housed, on any one day, in solitary confinement. In this study, we developed a model of isolation that starts in adulthood. Mice (C57BL/6J) were born and raised in an enriched environment until 4 months of age and then either maintained in that environment or moved to social isolation for 1 or 3 months. We then examined neuronal structure, catecholamine and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, and CNS-mediated behaviors, comparing social isolation to enriched environment controls. We found there were significant changes in neuronal volume, dendritic length, neuronal complexity, and spine density that were dependent on brain region, sex, and duration of the isolation. Isolation altered dopamine in the striatum and serotonin levels in the forebrain in a sex-dependent manner, and also reduced levels of BDNF in the motor cortex and hippocampus of male but not female mice. To determine if SI altered a behavior, we tested mice in the open-field (general activity), the resident intruder paradigm (aggression), the tail suspension test (depression), and the Barnes maze (spatial memory). Adult male mice isolated for 1 month exhibited increased locomotor activity, aggression, and enhanced aspects of spatial memory, most of which remained after 3 months of isolation. After 3 months of isolation, mice also exhibited depressive behaviors. Similar (but not exact) results were seen in female mice, with the exception that the females did not show increased aggression. These studies show that isolation enforced in adulthood has significant impact on brain structure, neurochemistry, and behavior Copy rights belong to original authors.

S., Jones, M. J., Hasan, M. M., Khatun, M. S., Wang, H., Garfinkel, L. P., Norton, E. B., Steele, C., Kim, S., Kolls, J. K., Jazwinski, S. M., Mostany, R., Katakam, P. V. G., Engler-Chiurazzi, E. B., Zwezdaryk, K. Abstract: Risk factors contributing to dementia are multifactorial. Pathogens as risk factors for dementia is largely correlative with few causal relationships. Here, we demonstrate that intermittent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in mice, mimicking human chronic infection and reactivation/reinfection events, alters blood brain barrier (BBB) metabolic pathways. An increase in basal mitochondrial function is observed in brain microvasculature endothelial cells (BMEC) at 12 months post infection but not at earlier time points and is accompanied by elevated levels of superoxide, indicative of oxidative stress. Further, these mice score lower in cognitive assays as compared to age-matched controls. Our data show that repeated systemic infection with CMV, alters BBB metabolic function and impacts cognition. These observations provide mechanistic insights through which pathogens contribute to the progression of pathologies associated with dementia. Copy rights belong to original authors.

R., Ballard, C., Lee, J.-Y., Kim, Y. K., Velayudhan, L., Bhattacharyya, S. Abstract: Background: Common neural underpinning of Parkinson's Disease (PD) psychosis across different structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies remains unclear to this day with few studies and even fewer meta-analyses available. Objectives: Our meta-analysis aimed to identify and summarise studies using MRI approach to identify PD psychosis-specific brain regions and examine the relation between cortical volume loss and dopaminergic and serotonergic receptor density. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and Embase were searched for MRI studies of PD psychosis (PDP) compared to PD patients without psychosis (PDnP). Seed-based d Mapping with Permutation of Subject Images was applied in the meta-analysis where coordinates were available. Multiple linear regressions to examine the relationship between grey matter volume loss in PDP and receptor gene expression density (extracted from the Allen Human Brain Atlas) were conducted in R. Results: We observed lower grey matter volume in parietal-temporo-occipital regions from our meta-analysis (N studies =10, PDP n=211, PDnP, n=298). These results remained significant after adjusting for PD medications and for cognitive scores. Grey matter volume loss in PDP was associated with local expression of 5-HT1a (b=0.109, p=0.012) and 5-HT2a receptors (b=-0.106, p=0.002) also after adjusting for PD medications (5-HT1a, p = 0.005; 5-HT2a, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Widespread cortical volume loss in the parieto-temporo-occipital regions involved in information processing and integration, as well as attention, could result in PD psychosis symptoms. Neurobiological mechanisms implicating serotonergic receptors may also contribute to this condition. Copy rights belong to original authors.

The pursuit of mental health and a deeper understanding of the mysterious workings of the human mind can be traced back thousands of years, through cultures around the world. A new approach to treating trauma and mental health issues is finding success by combining the knowledge of modern neuroscience and therapy, with the insights and practices of Indigenous teachers and shaman. Kim Barta is an internationally known psychotherapist, coach, spiritual guide, and speaker. His groundbreaking techniques in healing serious trauma are based on years of research and experience with treating mental health issues in a variety of cultures and communities. His approach is grounded in the science of neurobiology and memory to help illuminate and heal the "shadows" – the unconscious mental and emotional blockages that prevent our growth and happiness. Join Aviv Shahar and Kim Barta for The Healing Journey: A Neurobiological Shamanic Psychotherapy. KEY TAKEAWAYS 04:36 – Aviv welcomes with Kim Barta to share his recent projects and to engage in a rich discussion on today's topic, The Healing Journey A Neurobiological Shamanic Psychotherapy08:35 – The most challenging and most joyous aspects of Kim's work as a psychotherapist10:26 – Healing rapidly in psychotherapy15:53 – What inspired Kim to pursue this line of work19:19 – Shamanic Psychotherapy and ‘shadow work,' explained25:59 – The developmental journey, including first, second, third, and fourth-person perspectives37:30 – Understanding trauma40:35 – Kim's thoughts on the current state of our society46:06 – Kim discusses the concept of a ‘shadow crash' and the capacity of recovery52:34 – The emergence of sexism and classism56:10 – The transition from The Agrarian Age to The Axial Age1:00:49 – Mental health throughout human history1:04:34 – The search for peak experience1:07:35 – The Middle Ages to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment1:11:25 – The Industrial Revolution1:15:42 – System Thinking Process1:18:47 – Final thoughts and offerings from Kim TWEETABLE QUOTES “Interestingly, what I find most challenging is working with people who are steeped in psychotherapy because they have this belief system that it has to take a long time. They have this belief system that you can't change rapidly. If I get people who are not too steeped in modern psychotherapy, I can get incredibly rapid change. And that's really fun and exciting.” (08:55) (Kim)“This is really common for me. I move people from a place of trauma to a place of ecstasy, or aliveness, or a spiritual awakening, in one session, very commonly.” (12:05) (Kim)“I think any healing journey does include development, but they don't necessarily need to understand that it does.” (27:50) (Kim)“‘Shadow crash' is a term that I created that identifies that we move from a later developmental level to an early developmental level.” (46:56) (Kim)“Resilience is the ability to stay there no matter the crash. Recovery is the ability that, once you crash, how fast can you come back up, how far can you come back up? I like to distinguish that, because it's really important in terms of working with people because they might have a lot of resiliency, but they might not be able to recover once that resiliency is broken.” (51:03) (Kim)“In Egypt we have examples of understanding mental health issues and how to treat mental health issues. And some of them include dream interpretation, which is something that Freud got all his accolades for just a hundred and fifty years ago.” (1:04:02) (Kim)“We see the systems thinking in Shamanic healing techniques and strategies and how they do it. Yes, we're integrating cognition, emotion, spirituality, and culture all at the same time. I can't heal the individual without healing the society. As soon as I heal the individual, I'm healing the society. And I have to heal the society to heal the individual too.” (1:17:46) (Kim)“One of the things we can do is take a look at how, even though the ancient traditions had ideas for mental health and mind-body healing, the storylines around them are different. One of the things that came to prominence with Freud was the storyline of mental health being a secular, scientific endeavor. And how do we really look at it from a scientific, objective perspective? That was an important thing to add, even though I think a lot of the ancient traditions had the information but I don't know how much of it was really studied from a scientific perspective. I think a lot of it was trial-and-error. They were observative, they would explore and observe, but now we're gonna move into an era of ‘Now we're gonna scientifically study this as a community.' And, when that happens, we get warp speed growth.” (1:21:03) (Kim) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteKim Barta's LinkedIn

Hang on! This is a deep dive into how your child's brain works, and I'll explain why they sometimes act the way that they do. This episode was inspired after I read an article on Brain Harmony and I noticed a diagram representing a pyramidal hierarchy of child development. I noticed that this pyramid closely mapped to a set of "layers" common to play therapy. In this episode, I go over both hierarchies, how prioritization plays a role, and then I explain the 4-step model and how it maps to play therapy.   Podcast HQ: https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/ My Newsletter Signup: https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/newsletter/ My Podcast Partner, Gabb Wireless: https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/gabb/

Schizophrenia and the other psychotic disorders are some of the most impairing forms of psychopathology, frequently associated with a profound negative effect on the individual's educational, occupational, and social function. Sadly, these disorders often manifest right at time of the transition from adolescence to adulthood, just as young people should be evolving into independent young adults. The spectrum of psychotic disorders includes schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, schizophreniform disorder, brief psychotic disorder, as well as psychosis associated with substance use or medical conditions. In this module, we summarize the primary clinical features of these disorders, describe the known cognitive and neurobiological changes associated with schizophrenia, describe potential risk factors and/or causes for the development of schizophrenia, and describe currently available treatments for schizophrenia. The development of new treatments such as Cognitive Enhancement Therapy provides some hope that we will be able to develop new and better approaches to improving the lives of individuals with this serious mental health condition and potentially even prevent it some day.

Episode 31: Winning at Fibromyalgia podcast Well hello my friends! It has been a while! I have been MIA a little bit, for a good reason and I am back  I met someone special, his name is Greg and he has swept me off my feet, that's all I will say for now. I am coming on today to introduce you to my new, simplified version 2.0.1 of my Winning at fibromyalgia method. It is very powerful and I am very proud of it. For those who don't know me, I am a board-certified rheumatologist and work almost full time at the Rheumatology office in Cape Cod. I am an expert fibromyalgia coach where I teach women with fibromyalgia tools to reduce their pain, and win at fibromyalgia. The principle 4 steps are: Believe (in the power of your own body to heal, in the power of your mind and nervous system) Embrace (the concept of neuroplasticity) Let go (of the expectations to get results fast) and Do the work – mindfulness based exercises/techniques to bring peace and sense of safety to your nervous system that eventually reduces the pain Rinse and repeat  I want to start with the power of Belief today. I cannot stress how important belief is. I truly cannot. Believing my women can achieve pain reduction is #1 item I work on with my patients and clients alike. I want to tell you why it is so important. I want to tell you this because I found out the hard way. I LACKED belief myself – until I took the Whole health medicine institute course led by Dr. Rankin. Going through her program made me realize I lacked belief in my body's ability to heal. I was able to uncover where it was coming from, and then changed it around. It did not happen overnight. But I did it. And I now am sharing it with you, my listeners and clients. I want the same for you. SO first of all – why do I even talk about Believing? There is an undeniable body of research supporting the notion that our thoughts and perceptions affect our physiology. That our mindsets can MEASURABLY affect physical healing. In research studies it is called placebo effect – meaning, taking a sugar pill has positive, measurable physiologic and physical effects (improvement in depression, mood, or asthma). There is even such thing as placebo surgeries! – when doctors opened up a patient/made an incision but did not do ANY instrumentation on patients knees and people felt better!!!! Can you comprehend this? Fascinating research from Yale – IDENTICAL milkshake given to TWO groups of people with TWO different labels – one that suggested more “indulgent” or calorific drink triggered REAL body responses suggestive of having consumed more calories!! But they have not! That's all our brains/minds at work! Neurobiological research has shown that the placebo effect, which stems in part from individual's mindset and expectation to heal, triggers DISTINCT BRAIN AREAS associated with ANXIETY and PAIN that activate physiological effects that lead to healing outcomes. The placebo effect is mediated by the release of neurotransmitters, consistently impacts certain areas of brain and even mirrors the action of of pharmaceuticals on human physiology. In clinical trials it is actually NOT uncommon for the placebo to BEAT the active drug, especially in the studies on anti-depressants! Do you know what this means?? This means that our minds can produce the effects of a medication as powerful as an antidepressant! This means that the mind is capable of great feats in healing the body. This should not come as surprise given that the body is an infinitely intelligent organism. Humans have been healing themselves long before the invention of modern medicine techniques. Indigenous shamans have been facilitating healing for thousands of years. They gave patients hope, and through expectation, the mind initiated the changes in physiology for the body to heal. The question is not whether there is placebo effect (power of belief in healing) but WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?? How can we consciously deliberately harness that affect?? We don't seem to know how to produce it on demand in health and medicine. We spend enormous amount of money developing meds trying to OUTPERFORM the placebo affect. How silly! Mindset about treatments SHAPE treatment outcomes (antihistamine prick and cream test) Placebo effect is the power of belief, and is related to multiple psychosocial factors. One factor is expectation, which relates to a reduction in anxiety, or in expectation of reward. The placebo effect provides insight into the complexity of consciousness and how little we really know about the mind and its ability to heal. The scientific evidence is accumulating and points towards the possibility that the mind has an unlimited healing ability. You heard me right – UNLIMITED healing ability. ALL WITHOUT OUR, HUMAN precious mind. This makes a complete sense but skeptics don't like common sense until the science proves it. Where do the mindsets come from?? The placebo effect is a mind-body phenomenon that starts in the brain, results in clinical improvement and is intimately related to the ritual of the therapeutic act. This ritual involves things such as people in the room, spoken words, syringes or other devices and even the color of the pill. One of the most important factors that trigger expectations and believe is a verbal suggestion. Verbal suggestions are frequently given in clinical studies of the placebo effect, and these words as part of the therapeutic ritual have powerful effects on the body. This is an important concept to remember because YOUR OWN WORDS BASED ON YOUR INNATE BELIEFS ARE part of your own therapeutic ritual every single day of your life. The placebo effect emphasizes the importance of belief in overall health and wellness. BE positive in what you say and be discerning about what you believe. YOUR MIND-BODY IS listening. More useful questions- what is the best mindset to have, when diagnosed with fibromyalgia? Answer” the one that empowers us. The one that enhances our belief in our body's and mind's ability to heal, to improve the pain. No matter what caused it. The opposite is true also – injury to the body and negative thoughts can lead to stress, depression, anxiety and even to fear about getting injured again. Standford University researchers found that what patients think and expect about treatments can influence health outcomes. YOUR MINDSET CAN AFFECT YOUR RECOVERY. Researcher Alia Crum, a psychologist at Standford describes her experience when she was 10 and broke her ankle while doing gymnastics but did not know it was broken first. She iced and taped it and competed the next day and qualified for nationals. Then she found out her ankle was broken. She basically MENTALLy overcame her injury. Fibromyalgia CAUSES REAL pain but there is no injury. What a gift. It is an invitation to us to utilize our brain, nervous system and mind healing potential to sway the course of the pain. My entire coaching program is based on the premise that our brain has the power to alter the pain we feel in the body. Once you start believing it can. And embrace the neuroplasticity as a real cause of pain, you have won. Our brains usually need love or encouragement, sometimes both. Our primitive brains are also wired to look for danger. Maybe in some of us the wiring is stronger than others. What if our job was to provide reassurance to our primitive brains that we are safe, that we are strong, taking care of ourselves, attending to our needs and that things will be ok? And I am not talking about gaslighting and claiming everything will be fine if we are in real physical danger. I am talking providing our minds and nervous system reassurance and reassuring messages of safety when we are, in fact, physically ok, nobody is shooting at us or attacking us physically. Because short of physical danger, most of the time, we are ok. The first step is to BELIEVE that we can get there – to the part where our nervous system is at peace, and we truly really believe we are ok. And that we can feel better. Things start changing then. You can change your mindset. The brain is NEUROPLASTIC – meaning neural networks can continue to grow, change and reorganize throughout the lifespan. By challenging yourself with new experiences and perspectives, you can FORM NEW NEURAL CONNECTIONS – OR MINDSETS – at ANY POINT in life. I invite you to do the following exercise: I am powerful. I have the power (to change my neural connections). I have the power to change my perception of pain. I am strong, I am healthy, I am resilient. I am learning to harness the power of my brain and nervous system I believe in my body's ability to heal and in my own ability to choose my own thoughts.

“To move through trauma often means going back to what was too much. Often we need to be with someone who is with us saying ‘I'm here. You're safe. It's okay to feel it now.'” In this episode of the Mindspace podcast, Dr. Joe speaks with David Treleaven (davidtreleaven.com). David is a trauma professional, mindfulness teacher, and educator. He is also the author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness: Practices for Safe Healing. After struggling through symptoms of secondary trauma on a meditation retreat, he developed the Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness (TSM) approach.TSM helps trauma survivors avoid the risks they face when practicing meditation. TSM has been taught to veterans, prisoners, healthcare professionals, first responders, and many others. Through workshops and online courses, David teaches mindfulness providers the tools of TSM, so that they can meet the needs of people struggling with trauma. More information on his online training can be found here: davidtreleaven.com/online-training David has worked with organizations like Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (developed by Google) and the University of Massachusetts Medical School by bringing them the tools and techniques of TSM to their staff and programs. He is also a visiting scholar at Brown University. He is the host of The Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Podcast. He has had guests on like Sharon Salzberg, Rick Hanson, and recently Dr. Joe Flanders! In this interview Joe and David explore: - Challenges with the definition of the word trauma - Is there such a thing as COVID trauma? - Why some people are more resilient in the face of difficult experiences - Neurobiological models of Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) Diagnosing PTS - Approaches to treating PTS - The implications of collective trauma from COVID-19

Play is a child's occupation and has a profound impact on attachment and neuro-development. Therapeutic and developmental experiences benefit from a deeper understanding of the importance and impact of play. Today, Carrie Schmitt and Mim Ochsenbein unpack The Interpersonal Neurobiology of Play by highlighting and defining Play, while considering both the impact of play on brain development and the way that play in the context of relationship is powerful for driving development.    Resources Mentioned In this episode:​ Brown, S.

All of us sometime or the other have experienced the Eureka moments or insights where suddenly the solution to a long-vexed problem emerges in a flash. Such eureka moments or sudden insights have been the basis of some of the greatest discoveries of this world.So curiosity arose how the brain produces such moments and insights and what is the neurobiological basis of it.The details with links are given in this article:  https://nariphaltan.org/eureka.pdf

Today I'm speaking with Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, whose work is, I honestly think, the most important I've yet come across in all my years of dabbling in education research and trying to understand how young people learn and develop, what we should be doing in schools to help them, and what we should maybe stop doing as soon as is humanly possible. Mary Helen is a Professor of Education, Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Southern California and the Director of Candle: the Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education, which, among many notable achievements, is surely the most successful academic acronym of all time. Mary Helen and her team study the psychological and neurobiological development of emotion and self-awareness. In particular, her work highlights the importance of emotions, sociality and culture in young people's social, cognitive and moral development. She uses cross-cultural, interdisciplinary studies of stories and the feelings they induce to shine a light on the neural networks that underpin identity, intrinsic motivation, and deep, meaningful learning. Mary Helen's work often features children and adolescents from disadvantaged communities, and she often involves young people from these communities as junior scientists who are participants, as well as subjects, in her research. A former public high-school science teacher, Mary Helen has a doctorate in human development and psychology from Harvard University, and she completed her postdoctoral training in social-affective neuroscience with Antonio Damasio, whose research has been incredibly important in shaping Mary Helen's work. In 2016, Mary Helen published a book, Emotions, Learning and the Brain, which summarises the key findings from the previous decade of her work. I can't recommend this book highly enough to anyone with an interest in how children and adolescents learn. I really think it's an incredibly important read, as is the work Mary Helen has done in the 5 years since the book was published. Mary Helen has received numerous awards for her research and impact on education and society, including an Honor Coin from the U.S. Army, a Commendation from the County of Los Angeles, a Cozzarelli Prize from the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and a host of early career achievement awards too numerous to mention. Toward the end of the conversation, we talk about three networks of the brain - the default mode network, the salience network and the executive control network. Understanding what these three networks do, and how they interact, is absolutely central to understanding the importance of Mary Helen's work. I was hoping that we would have time to discuss these three networks in the conversation, but unfortunately we ran out of time toward the end of the conversation. Fortunately however, Mary Helen recently co-authored a paper with her colleague Doug Knecht, which explains these three brain networks and how they work and interact in lay terms.

Skam er en af de stærkeste følelser, vi har. Det føles som om, et stort projektørlys belyser vores fejl og mangler til skue for alle andre - og følelsen kan vare ved i lang tid. Det er ganske ubehageligt - men hvorfor føler vi egentlig skam? Og hvad gør skammen ved os? I ugens episode dykker vi ned i skam-forskningen og kigger på, om ikke også skammen kan være godt for noget. Asbjørn fortæller, at ens af hans allerførste minder var en skamfuld oplevelse, mens Jais må tilstå, at han nok er rimelig skamløs. Heldigvis er de to værter i kyndige hænder, og Dan Zahavi og Carsten Stage fortæller, hvordan skam adskiller sig fra vores andre følelser, og hvordan skammen tydeliggør, at vi mennesker er i stand til at se på os selv udefra.Og så kommer de med hvert deres bud på, hvordan skammen også kan være positiv. Til sidst udruller Albert Gjedde et vildt studie, der viser, at amøber, som er blevet skåret i stykker, kan samle sig igen - og finde den korteste rute gennem en labyrint! Alt det og meget mere får du i denne udgave af Brainstorm. Medvirkende:  Dan Zahavi, professor på Center for Subjektivitetsforskning, Københavns Universitet Carsten Stage, lektor på Institut for Kommunikation og Kultur, Aarhus Universitet.

The Reinvention Series

What if you could remove the limitations on what is possible for your one precious life? It turns out when you look into what is actually ‘impossible’ and tap into peak human performance, you're capable of much more than you know. Steven Kotler is one of the world's leading experts on peak performance. He is an award-winning journalist and author of 9 national bestselling books. A two-time Pulitzer nominee, Steven's work has been translated into more than 40 languages and has appeared in over 100 publications, including the New York Times, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, Wall Street Journal, TIME, and the Harvard Business Review. Steven pulls from decades of research and in his new book, The Art of Impossible. Not only do we dig into the meat of the book, we also learn how to optimize performance levels, starting from step 1. We dive into: Turning the impossible into possible Tools for peak performance. While extrinsic and intrinsic motivations are what get you in the game, the formal learning and skills keep you there, creativity steers you, and flow pushes you beyond all reasonable expectations. Why you must be in a position to meet your basic needs before setting off for something new. Curiosity, passion, purpose, autonomy, and mastery as intrinsic motivators, and how to follow them in the right order for the best results. Neurobiological ways of understanding the various motivators. How to sustain creativity over a lifetime. Enjoy! Have a question? Text me 1-206-309-5177

Marta Pecina MD PhD. is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Director of the Translational Neuroscience and Neuroimaging Lab of the Department of Psychiatry and the UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital. This Podcast focuses on the Neurobiological basis of placebo effects. Placebos have great power. We explain how both expectation and conditioning generate strong placebo effects relevant to research and their therapeutic use. Ethical issues about placebo use are furthermore addressed.

I’m all about the construction of “Tight-Bubbles of Total Focus” on certain days of the week. On these days, I get lost from the world, go dark and focus monomaniacally on the few projects that will count the most.When I work, devices are off, no one can reach me and I vanish completely. I retreat to a series of beautiful, light-filled, mess-free sanctuaries where my brain can then drop into “transient hypofrontality”. That’s the scientific term brain researchers use for when your mind waves slow down, a pharmacy of mastery is created within you and the pre-frontal cortex–the brain area where your noisy self-critic lives–becomes silent. Also priceless.This condition–which you have the power to create under the right environment–is often called “Flow”. It’s the state where your natural genius shows up. Time slows down. You see solutions that were un-evident before. We all have this ability. But with the TV on, the notifications sounding and the distractions happening, only those with an acute understanding of the importance of installing world-class conditions get to capture this state where the creative giants play.

Welcome to the second season of The Patient Whisperers' podcast, I'm Marc Sacco and I'm Roger Woods and we are your guides on the entertaining and informative journey into the world of...Verbal Medicine, The Language of Healing. Today, we're talking about the effects of negative language on patient recovery and the health nocebos used by every healthcare professional and what we can do to stop doing it. The study cited: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5639717/Nocebo effects in clinical studies: hints for pain therapyRegine Klinger, Maxie Blasini, Julia Schmitz, and Luana CollocaSelected passages:Neurobiological studies have revealed great similarities between the molecular basis of drug action and the related placebo responses, suggesting that a placebo can partially replace the verum and enhance its effects.For example, a pioneering study reported that of 15 patients receiving lumbar puncture who were told to expect a headache afterward, 7 experienced headaches. By contrast, of the 13 patients who were not warned about the possibility to have a headache, none experienced such side effects. The authors concluded that “patients should not be told to expect a headache, as this may be a self-fulfilling prophecy.”Also, in a randomized controlled study, the effects of verbal suggestions have been investigated during the administration of epidural anesthesia for labor pain. Women were informed about the procedure using 2 styles of framing: “We are going to give you a local anesthetic that will numb the area and you will be comfortable during the procedure” or “You are going to feel a big bee sting; this is the worst part of the procedure.” Women who were informed through the positive-framing technique reported significantly less pain than those informed through the negative-framing style for the same procedure.Nocebo effects could be prompted by knowledge of adverse effects related to the use of pharmacological drugs, and could potentially last for long periods of time. A study performed by Mondaini et al37 investigated the sexual side effects associated with treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with finasteride (5 mg) by informing patients through 2 different disclosure styles. Randomization of patients into the 2 groups occurred after the treatment was described as having proven efficacy for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia. One of the groups was provided with information regarding uncommon but potential sexual side effects, specifically naming erectile dysfunction, decreased libido and problems with ejaculation, while the other group was not informed about such effects. At 6- and 12-month follow-ups, a significant difference between reported sexual side effects was observed between the 2 disclosure groups. Of the group informed about the sexual side effects, 43.6% reported sexual dysfunction compared to 15.3% in the noninformed group.Informed consent practices may be inadvertently inducing nocebo effects by triggering negative expectancies through the explanation of possible adverse effects related to medication use. Thus, it calls for a need to balance the ethical principles of protecting the patient's autonSupport the show (http://www.patreon.com/patientwhisperers)
